I did not try starting mine at -11F, but they start fine at 0F. You can start them without an ether bottle, just spray ether into air intake above the cab.

Do not be a chicken. If your truck gets in an accident and it is your driver's fault, you will get sued into oblivion regardless of overload issue. That said, I personally would not put more than 10 tons of weight on it.

This is what I do and it works great.

Congratulations!!! This is an awesome deal! I paid $3030 for my M931A2 and you bested me by a lot. Looks like an awesome truck. I hate you! :)

I have been thinking. An M923A2 is a cool truck, but not very useful commercially. And then I realized that it could be great for snow plowing. It is a heavy duty truck, starts easily in the cold, has six wheel drive, CTIS, etc. All an M923A2 would need for plowing is a hydraulic unit, nd M925A2...

You need batteries to operate the fuel shutoff solenoid. Also a few more things, such as gauges and ABS. i

7 degrees today. My M923A2 started on the fourth crank without the block heater. :)

You need four good batteries for starting that 250 engine in cold weather.

I would like to start this thread to discuss cold weather starting of NHC250 and CTA8.3. I have trucks with both. Tried starting them at 25F. The batteries were fine. I had to use ether assist. The NHC250 started with difficulty, after maybe a minute of cranking, whereas the CTA8.3 started...

Here's something that I learned in life. If a valuable thing is ridiculously cheap, you should buy it right now, and not wait until it might be even cheaper. It may or may not become even cheaper, but it does not matter very much. A good purchase will pay for itself in any case. In our case...

I do not understand what you are saying. To a scrapper, copper harnesses are worth around $1.40 per lb. If they are so valuable to you, why can't you pay more than that for them? If they can be sold for usable, why don't you bid more than scrap value?

I had a similar problem. It was caused by the expello valve stuck in the air dryer and the aair from the compressor was coming out of that valve. By advice of a member here, I pushed the valve up and it fixed it.

If you think that 5 tonners will be cheaper, keep this in mind: a 5 ton truck weighs about 21,000lbs. Current scrap prices are 290-300 dollars per ton. This gives a scrap value of a five tonner around $3,000. There is no reason to think that they will sell for much less than scrap value due to...

Could it be that you are driving in 6wd all the time? That could explain short tire life.

Very nice job!

Military truck mudding is what people do here in the US for fun. In Russia, they do it for a living because their roads are bad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9tnqbwZUJc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byp468qTrZ0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6lBig8gdfM...

I got cans from NAPA also. They fit the threads, however they do not work with the "other" spaghetti line going to the side of the bottle.

Where can you refill those ether cans?

I agree on both points, it is great for a laptop (I am using a laptop in my pickup right now at a red light), and it is kind of dumb design.

You hit the nail on the head, this is indeed a hindrance.
